This morning conditions have certainly deteriorated weather wise. The wind
was blowing again, as it always does off the ocean, and it was raining. I
was also tending one of our dogs that was on a leash tied to my leg, so not
only did I have to fend off the rain and contend with the wind, but I had to
keep untangling the leash from the table legs so the dog wouldn't tip
everything over. And I received reports of RF feedback which didn't
surprise me since everything is soggy here and I was probably a little low
on battery voltage.
Nevertheless, I was able to make contact with N8IRC, K4FEG, N5OXT and N8RO.
Just as a reminder, it won't be necessary to send me a QSL to get CN73
confirmed. I will send EVERYONE I worked a QSL confirming our QSO, and when
I get home I will upload the QSOs to LOTW.
Thanks to everyone. I will be on again on FO-29 for the evening passes if
it has stopped raining.

As the Trustee of K5LBJ, the LASA High School Amateur Radio Club, in Austin,
Texas, last Friday (9/19) was an exciting day. After almost a year of hard
work, the school's satellite tracking/communication station made "First
Contact." As you are aware, satellites work on their own schedule, so when
I noticed an SO-50 pass at the beginning of the school day, I hoped for the
best. I was not disappointed. During the pass, I was able to work W5PFG,
N8RO, NX9B, and WI9I. What a great moment in our club's 10th anniversary
year!
I can't wait to get students on the air over satellites. I teach an Amateur
Radio elective class (where most of our building/maintenance is done), and
last Spring, the students assembled and tested the satellite array.
Unfortunately, we only obtained the Icom 910H during summer, so this was the
first time to test it. Eureka!
Many thanks to Mark Spencer, WA8SME, and the ARRL ETP ("Big Project")
program that provided the computer interface for our EL/AZ rotator, and also
the Dayton Amateur Radio Association (DARA) which funded coax and other
items to make this project happen. Of course, we could not have made it
happen without the support of the Austin Amateur Radio Club which funded the
Icom 910H. Finally, I would like to express our appreciation for our
mentor, Ron Parsons, W5RKN, who continues to guide and support our school in
its satellite endeavors.
LASA High hopes to be much more active in the satellite community in the
future. Thank you for getting us off to a great start.

Yes, I have used the KX3 on satellite, both on FO29 and AO7. However, I
have not use computer control of the KX3. In theory it should be possible
but there will need some code written and / or a interface designed to do
so.

I set up the FT-897D in the back of the Suburban this evening with the hatch
open to shield me from the wind and rain. The only problem I had was trying
to keep the wind from blowing over the tripod-mounted Arrow antenna. so
with one hand on the tripod and the other on the microphone I was successful
in working WA4HFN, W7LRV, KC7MG, WC7V, KE4KOL, KB0VXN, AJ9K and W0DHB from
here in Bandon by the Sea, Oregon.
I will try SO-50 with my hand held this evening, and I may give the morning
pass of FO-29 another try, then we are heading out of here and making our
way back home to Utah.

Rick,
SatPC32 can be used with the SDR programs HDSDR, SDR#, and SDR-Radio, all of
which support the FUNcube Dongle Pro+ and other SDR dongles.
SatPC32 also supports Icom, Kenwood, and Yaesu radios using their native CAT
commands. There is no direct support for the Elecraft KX3, so it will be a
major challenge having SatPC32 control the KX3 unless the KX3 will emulate a
Kenwood (or Yaesu or Icom).
